Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart returned from his two-game suspension on Friday after his confrontation with LeBron James. That also gave Stewart the opportunity to discuss the wild scene for the first time.
Stewart was struck in the mouth by James while the two were competing for a rebound during Sunday night’s game in Detroit. Stewart was left bleeding, and he was so furious that he had to be held back from taking on James and virtually all of the Lakers (video here).
Stewart didn’t actually have much to say about the incident with James on Friday. The second-year center said it would be the last time he addressed it. He felt James’ shot was intentional and said he would not let the incident define him.
